How to supply Serial Clock Input into an audio-ADC IC?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for a serial clock input for the AD7811 audio ADC, which is essential for converting analog signals to digital. Users are advised to refer to the ADC's datasheet for detailed specifications on the clock requirements and connection methods. The clock signal typically comes from a microcontroller, which also sends serial data to the ADC and receives converted data. However, the original poster seeks a simpler solution for direct analog-to-digital conversion without using a microcontroller. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the ADC's clock and control inputs for effective operation.

Hi seniors,

I am struggling something with my audio ADC.
I bought AD7811 from farnell, which is an ADC to convert my analog data into digital. But at this stage, i found that a SERIAL CLOCK INPUT is needed to supply into the IC.
However, I m wondering what exactly the clock i should supply?
Hopefully, senior can give any advice to overcome this problem. thanks

Use the datasheet for your answer. You can find it here:

I assume you use a uC to drive the ADC. The clock comes from uC. On the ADC DIN input, the uC sends the serial data to program the ADC. Each bit is registered in the ADC on each pulse of the clock. Look in the ADC datasheet, page 15, Fig. 18.

The ADC DOUT sends the converted data to uC. It uses the clock the same way. Each data bit is sent to the uC on each clock pulse. Fig. 18 in the datasheet shows this as well. Read the text on page 15 for more info.

Also, pages 16 and 17 show how to connect the ADC to different microcontrollers.

thanks adrian.
Anyway, i think maybe i din make this clear that i want to directly convert the analog signal into serial digital output and no microcontroller is used.
so i wonder what SCLK and CONVST input ?
However, I m looking for much simple type of the ADC and DAC for audio conversion den transmission.. hopefully, any senior here could give ur point of view regarding this issue.

thanks
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
